detect data changes

[jonnoParticipant]

Hi Folks,

I have a grid bound to a dataadapter which uses json to get remote data.
I want to get the remote data every few seconds, detect changes before rendering the grid.

What is the best way to do this?
what methods and events should i use?

Many thanks

Hi jonno,

bindingcomplete event is raised whenever the Grid’s data binding is completed or Grid’s re-binding is completed. So you can use it to detect when your data chagnes.

Hi Peter,

I’m actually trying to detect data changes and process the data before the grid is rendered.

The dataadapter has beforeLoadComplete event with originalrecords and newrecords.
I was thinking using this event to determine the changed data?

Hi jonno,

If it is your solution, you can use it.

Peter, I cannot get this working – beforeLoadComplete (newrecords, originalrecords)

originalrecords doesn’t hold the old records. originalrecords and newrecords contain same data.

Hi jonno,

Yes, it’s called originalrecords, not oldrecords. It’s called originalrecords because that’s the data without any manipulations from jqxDataAdapter.
